The liabilities of tho house are chiefly on
the Endorsements Of bills receivable, the un-
secured Indebtedness being very light. 1t ia

Making it Pleasant.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
Singular as 1t may seem Russia,
though ruled by despot, has always
been friendly to the Republic of the
United States. In our "vealy days.
when we were entering the society OF
nations, and our representatives
abroad were snubbed again and again,
Russia gave us g. hearty welcome.
In England we were tolerated-we
we're treated as the elder brother was
disposed to treat the prodigal son.
No ssfatted calf' was killed for our
minister at the court of ST. James-he
was simply endured.
Mrs. Fremont tells O. story which
sets forth the trials suffered by Mr.
Monroe when he was our representa-
tive in England. At g. state dinner, he
found himself placed at the foot OF the
table, between two representatives OF
little German principalities.
FLAMES Monroe" he wrote home,
'sdoesn'h care where he eats his dinner,
but to find the American minister put
at the bottom of the table, between
two little municipalities no bigger than
nv farm in Albemarle, made me
angry"
When the usual first toast, "The
King!" was given, and all rose to
drink it, Mr.. Monroe was stillso angry
that he put his wine-glass down into
the finger-glass, with such violence as
to splash the water.
His German neighbors exchanged
sarcastic smiles, which made hotter
the American minister's anger. The
Russian minister, who sat at the right
hand of the host, the Prime Minister,
took it all in. Rising, he offered his
toast.
"a health and O. welcome to our
latest conner, the President of the
United States!"
AS soon as the toast had been hon
ored, Mr.. Monroe, his anger moder-
ated, arose, thanked the Russian min
lister, and gave as toast:
"The health and prosperity Of our
friend, the Emperor of Russia !"
The effect of the delicate attention
by the Russian was to secure, from
that time, proper social consideration
for the American minister.

They We're Going Home.
From the Dakota Bell.

They were qulet-lOoklng little
group, and sat over in the Omaha
depot. They had come in on the night
train, and were waiting to go West.
There were four of them, q care
worn but kindly looking man and
three children, the Oldest not over
eight or nine, and the youngest little
thing who could not have seen more
than three years of life.
'I'm tired of riding on the cars
when will we get home, papa?" asked
the Oldest one, q boy.
FWe will be there tonight, and then
you can rest"
ST wonder If Kittie'll kroy us?"
asked his sister, the next in size.
''Oh. | guess So" replied their
father.
How long have we been gone,
papa?" continued the little girl.
ooh, as much as month"
'Kittie'n fink we're never comm
back, won't she papa ?"
"She'll be all right while we're
away"
81 guess she'll be pity glad to see
US, and it won't be twite SO lonesome
there if Kittie hasn't ruined away,
will it papa?"
81 don't know-or, no, suppose it
wont-don't talk about it's being
lonesome, Nellie.''
"I's tired, an want to see mamma.
Will | see mamma when dts home ?"
asked the smallest one, as he climbed
upon his fathers leg.
"No, mamma won't be there, "and the
careworn man looked even mere sad;
"your mamma has gone away. There,
don't cry now, little one, we'll be home
pretty soon.
''But it will be lonesome there,
won't it papa?" said the little girl,
taking up the conversation where she
left it-s'because mamma won't be
there, and we'll be all alone, except
Klttie, and | want to talk bout it's
being lonesome, and about mamma,
cos Iwont see her again, why can't l,
papa?" He could not answer, but
lifted her to his lap, and held them
both very closely, and the boy moved
nearer, and they all sat very still and
thought of the lonely prairie home
they were going back to, even if they
said nothing.
